Overview
On-grid (grid-tied) solar systems connect directly to the utility grid. Excess energy you generate is exported back to the grid, earning you credits through net metering — making this the most cost-effective solar solution for homes and businesses with a reliable grid supply.
Key Benefits
- → Lowest upfront cost — no battery required
- → Net metering credits for exported power
- → Reduce electricity bills by 60–90%
- → Zero maintenance battery concerns
- → Approved under PM Surya Ghar & DISCOM net metering policies
- → Scalable from 1 kW to MW-scale commercial
How It Works
1
Solar panels generate DC power
Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
2
Inverter converts DC to AC
A grid-tied inverter converts DC to AC power compatible with your appliances and the grid.
3
Power your premises first
Solar power is consumed on-site first, reducing your grid import.
4
Export surplus to grid
Excess generation is exported to the DISCOM grid and credited via net metering.
Ideal For
Residential homes with reliable grid Commercial offices and IT parks Industrial rooftops Educational institutions Hospitals and healthcare facilities
